Pregnancy and motorcycling

[SMOKEU]

Keep on riding.

[The Pastor]

women shouldn't ride at all, so no don't do it.

Topic for the win.


Personally I'd not be to happy with my kids mum riding a bike, bungy jumping, fighting the taliban, or using power tools.

Some more than others.

I never stopped riding, and we had 2 kids. Up till 'bulge' getting in the way, she still pillioned. After arrival of No.1... only stipulation was... I had to be well insured so in the event of the worst. House was paid for and a decent lump sum became available to see through the 'really tough' months of putting life back together.

As a male, we cant argue the value and need for 'Mum' by children, so the loss of the female half of a pair with young children would I guess have a greater impact at a psychological level than maybe losing the 'male' half... though in this day and age, Home fathers are becoming more frequent. As long as eventualities are allowed for (loss/severe injury) then you should'nt need to lose something that is part of your 'make up'.

I imagine it's similar to the choice of taking a pillion or not. But the pillion does have a choice (usually) not to ride.

Even in a cage (seatbelt issues) ... risk elements are there ... Individual choice.

And just what would you mean by USUALLY?

And just what would you mean by USUALLY?

Sometimes .... pillion or walking ...

Or mum/Dad says ... you are going.
